Re: sky go problems

How do you watch sky? Do you have a link to test? Which exact version of ZA you use? Which settings you have applied? E.g. Is ZA virtualization turned ON? Assuming its web based, do you have the same problem both with Internet explorer and Firefox?

More information you post more likely other users will be able to help.

Re: sky go problems

Well, you have not posted all the information requested but I will make some guess on your setup.

The version of ZA Extreme you use is not compatible with Firefox 7. You should update ZA and firefox as follow (please follow the steps in order from 1 to 7):

1. Download the latest version of ZA Extreme from here:Looking for the latest version?
2. Remove the current ZA installed via XP add/remove programs (reboot needed)
3. Update firefox to version 8.0.1 (latest ZA is NOT compatible with firefox 7)
4. Install and run ccleaner to clean your registry and system from left overs and junk (watch out not to install the toolbar or any other software ccleaner will offer you at install).
5. Now install latest version of ZA Extreme 10.1.065.000 (it will take sometime since the installer will download the right file for your system).
6. Open ZA, push on "computer", then click on the link "Update Now" under the antivirus/antispyware section. Update can take sometime.
7. Test now if you still have problems.

Re: sky go problems

hi there cheer sfor the reply,i will do what you suggested and let you know the result..the reason i didn't post all the info you asked for is because i didn't know what (ZA virtualization turned ) meant or where to find it..i have used ZAP for years and never had any problems but this latest version is not running very well at all..cheers again for the reply

Re: sky go problems

The ZA virtualization (browser virtualization) is in ZA "internet" section. You should also try to post a link to a web site (?) to try to replicate the issue or to see if it is only something at your end.

There are few rules to follow if you use ZA browser virtualization. Such as to never install browser, flash, java and other browser add-ons updates with ZA virtualization turned ON. They will likely install in the sandbox (restricted area) and thus potentially getting corrupted or getting wipe out as soon as the virtual cache is cleaned. Always turn it OFF before maintenance.

This will ensure a stable and trouble free experience with the this very strong protection.

Also double check you don't run other security tools at the same time. They will conflict with ZA and help your system to be unstable. You can check with this tool: http://www.appremover.com/
